CATFORD'S Greyhound stadium site has lain empty for years but a planning committee will finally discuss revised plans for a housing development there.

Planning permission for a 589-home scheme with commercial space and a new pedestrian footbridge near Holbeach Primary was originally granted back in 2009, but the economic downturn meant the new buildings were never built.

The new plans have seen a number of small amendments to the original scheme, including see a drop of 30 habitable rooms - eight of which are classed as affordable, leading to a slight reduction in the amount of social housing.
